The Duty Free World Council (DFWC) has instructed TRBusiness that the Protocol to Eliminate the Illicit Trade in Tobacco Products will now come into force next September as the requirement for 40 ratifying countries has been met.
As a result the first meeting of the ‘Parties to the Protocol’ (MOP1) will take place this October in Geneva.
At this meeting, the parties will discuss the next steps in implementing the measures set out in the Protocol. All provisions of the Protocol will apply equally to the duty free channel as to all other retail channels.
